Although I have not seen this confirmed in the press at this point, I was sad to learn today of the passing of Al Williamson. like Frazetta, his friend and collaberator, Williamson was a giant in the Golden Age of comic books, particularly with some of the amazing science fiction stories he did for EC Comics in the early 1950′s. it’s sad indeed that we have lost Williamson and Frazetta so close in time.
I am away on vacation at the present but will plan to do a more complete tribute to Al Williamson in the very near future.
